Speaking of India’s performance at the Tokyo Olympics, Malleswari said, “We have won seven medals.

The government supports the Olympics mostly and they are given the best facilities and training and we see the results, “said the former weightlifting, who was the first Indian woman to win the Olympic medal.
He said because of government support and good performance.
Athletes, parents, parents allow children – their children to take sports as a career.
